The Dark is coming
3.75⭐️
This was an alright book, but in the horror sense it was lacking. Wanted more investigations when it came to The Dark. Felt like the book really only focuses on the sapphic side. The relationship between Logan and Ashley was adorable with the back and forth banter. Kinda reminds me of The Monsters We Made by Peyton June. But overall, felt like it needed something more. The Interludes where The Dark got a POV was pretty spooky. #thedeadandthedark #BookReview #horrorbook #bookstagram #summerween
Having read The Dark Is Coming, I appreciated the fresh take on horror that centers around a sapphic relationship between Logan and Ashley. Their witty banter and heartfelt connection add an emotional depth that is sometimes rare in horror novels, making the story more engaging beyond just scares. What stood out to me were the Interludes from The Dark's point of view. These segments injected a genuinely spooky vibe that gave the story some much-needed suspense and a sense of creeping dread. I felt those parts could have been expanded to build more tension and mystery around the entity known as The Dark. If you're looking for a book that combines horror with themes of love and identity, this novel offers both in a well-balanced way. It reminded me somewhat of Peyton June’s The Monsters We Made, which also blends personal relationships with supernatural elements. For readers craving a deeper investigation into the horror element, you might find yourself wanting more. However, the book's character-driven approach and atmospheric storytelling create a memorable experience, especially for those interested in LGBTQ+ narratives within the horror genre. Overall, The Dark Is Coming is a solid pick for summer horror reading. It’s not just about scares; it’s about connection, complexity, and the darkness lurking both outside and within.
